I just finished installing the new pistons, they look awseome. Their is a little gap between the cylinder wall and piston on cylinder number 7. but it really shouldnt make that much of a difference. Yeah ill video tape the start up.

The actual book says stock should be bored no more than a 3.903, or .005 over. The 97-98 blocks go by this, but the 99-02 can take a .010 over.
